I homeschool my children and would like to learn some new techniques to help the ones who have difficulty with reading.My oldest loves loves loves to read,but the younger three have some difficulty,this book sounds like it can help:)tmw1223 at gmail dot com

I'm homeschooling too and when we go to the library for "school books" my daughter is unenthused. She loves to pick out her just for fun books, but they are often not too great. I would love to be able to help direct her to some better choices.

I would love to win this because I LOVE to read and I want my son to love it as well! My husband likes to read, but it is hard for him to do so and I want it to come easier for my son.sras7508 at gmail dot com

My husband and I absolutely Love to read!! I have always wanted to instill this in my children. My eldest child is an amazing reader and does read for enjoyment (consequently he is reading at a level 2 grade levels higher than his). My daughters also enjoy books but I worry that they may lose interest or not think of reading as an enjoyable leisure activity when tv and video games or just socializing is an option! This book would be fantastic to inspire our family!

i am going to school to be a teacher and within the next month i will have to create my own lesson plans and go into the classroom and teach reading b/c i am taking my "reading methods" class in college right now :)we dont get paid to teach, but we have to buy all our supplies so this would be a cool freebie :)

As a Middle School librarian, the statistics on the website are astounding! This book sounds like a great resource for both parents and teachers! Let's get our kids reading and Keep them as life long readers!

I love to read and did everything possible to instill the love of reading to my children. No such luck-they don't read for pleasure. I would like to win, so maybe I can pass on the love of reading to my grandchildren!smchester at gmail dot com

I have a almost 7 year old who comes up with every reson why he does not want to read! He is great at reading...I just have to work way to hard at getting him to pick up a book! This would be a wonderful thing for my husband and I to read to help our children!Thank you so much for offering such and AWESOME giveaway!

I want this because I think it is very important for my child to read. I don't read enough and I really feel it is very important. My problem is the computer... I am always on it! I dont' want my child to be the same way and I would love to win this!ashleealex@gmail.com

I love books and would love for my children to learn to love them as much as I do. Reading is the best way to continue learning beyond school, and expand knowledge beyond conventional teaching. I would love to win this.

I'm always looking for new ways to open up the world for children through books and Raising Bookworms looks promising. I browsed their Recommended Reading Lists and it reminded me of some great books and authors.vinter@warwick.net

out of 7 children I only have one that hates to read, it's like pulling teeth without pain medication. I have tried everything with him, comics, funny books, scary books, books are slighly below his level, but nothing he wont pick up a book to save his life! I hope to win and try this.Thanks for another awesome giveaway.

I want to win because my beautiful little boy who used to beg me to read to him now immediately asks to watch "his shows". For someone who has a different book in different rooms (as well as ones in my bag and car) that I am simultaneously reading, this is heartbreaking. I need this book to turn this around! Thanks!

I'm a homeschooling mom of six, and not all of them love to read or know how yet. :) I'm especially interested in reading the impact of tv and other electronics on reading, plus the activities to lay a solid foundation sounds wonderful. :)

I love reading, but my husband finds it very difficult - we both want our kids to love doing it. I do pretty well with reading TO them (they're 5 and 2) but I need to help my older one start to go out on his own. Oh, and I really want to start more chapter/longer books with them, so I need some help with that.

I would like to win this to give to my nephew. He has an Xbox 360 and that is pretty much all he plays with all his free time. His grades in school are even suffering because of it. This would be the perfect book for him and hopefully he will get a hint and start to realize that video games won't get him anywhere, but reading will get him everywhere.

I would love to win this book! My daughter is an avid reader already and I'd love to help her continue her love of books. And my son is just starting to read & doing a good job at it. I'm interested in seeing the chapter on How to find the best books for young readers, so he can continue on his way of enjoying books.

I want this book to learn how I can inspire other people to start reading more for enjoyment. I have a feeling I can change alot of people's lives by teaching them the power of reading including my boyfriend who is on the games alot too. He even tried to make a joke that he reads the manuals of the video game and thats his reading. I'll show him. lol Thanks, Godesseablu@msn.com

My six year old daughter is struggling with reading. She recently was tested in school and is considered deficient. I would love to try to figure out the connection for her and not make reading such a chore. She works so hard and wants to get reading down and she has made great strides this year, but she and I need that extra push to get her at grade level and maybe this book would help us do that.

Both hubby and I are huge readers. We are currently struggling with our almost two year old as she loves to look at books and points out things to tell her what they are, but won't sit still to read them with us. I would think this book could help us with tips now and in the future.

I was never a reader and was not all that great with english classes. It always took me forever to read anything (and it still does, that is why I do not read much now as an adult). I do not want my children to have same difficulties I had with reading and writing.

I homeschool my children also. Although my 3 girls love to read, my son absolutely abhors it. I would like to win so I might learn some strategies that would open up so many worlds to him through books.

i want to win so my kids won't be part of the "one third of high school graduates and forty-two percent of college graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives". that, to me, is incredibly disturbing. thanks for the offer!button.lambright@gmail.com
